AD7891 PERFORMANCE
Linearity
The linearity of the AD7891 is primarily determined by the
on-chip 12-bit DAC. This is a segmented DAC that is laser
trimmed for 12-bit integral linearity and differential linearity.
Typical INL for the AD7891 is ± 0.25 LSB while typical DNL
is ± 0.5 LSB.
Noise
In an ADC, noise exhibits itself as code uncertainty in dc appli-
cations and as the noise floor (in an FFT for example) in ac
applications. In a sampling ADC, such as the AD7891, all
information about the analog input appears in the baseband from
dc to half the sampling frequency. The input bandwidth of the
track/hold amplifier exceeds the Nyquist bandwidth and,
therefore, an antialiasing filter should be used to remove
unwanted signals above f
where such signals exist.
Figure 17 shows a histogram plot for 16384 conversions of a dc
input signal using the AD7891-1. The analog input was set at
the center of a code transition in the following way. An initial dc
input level was selected and a number of conversions were
made. The resulting histogram was noted and the applied level
was adjusted so that only two codes were generated with an
equal number of occurrences. This indicated that the transition
point between the two codes had been found. The voltage level
at which this occurred was recorded. The other edge of one of
these two codes was then found in a similar manner. The dc
level for the center of code could then be calculated as the
average of the two transition levels. The AD7891-1 inputs
were configured for the ± 5 V input range and the data was read
from the part in parallel mode after conversion. Similar results
have been found with the AD7891-1 on the ± 10 V range and on
all input ranges of the AD7891-2. The same performance is
achieved in serial mode, again with the data read from the
AD7891-1 after conversion. All the codes, except for 3, appear
in one output bin, indicating excellent noise performance from
the ADC.

Dynamic Performance
The AD7891 contains an on-chip track/hold amplifier, allowing
the part to sample input signals of up to 250 kHz on any of its
input channels. Many of the AD7891’s applications require it to
sequence through low frequency input signals across its eight
channels. There may be some applications, however, for which
the dynamic performance of the converter on signals of up to
250 kHz input frequency is of interest. It is recommended for
these wider bandwidth signals that the hardware conversion
start method of sampling is used.
These applications require information on the spectral content
of the input signal. Signal-to-(noise + distortion), total
harmonic distortion, peak harmonic or spurious tone, and
intermodulation distortion are all specified. Figure 18 shows a
typical FFT plot of a 10 kHz, ± 10 V input after being digitized
by the AD7891-1 operating at 500 kHz, with the input connected
for ± 10 V operation. The signal-to-(noise + distortion) ratio is
72.2 dB and the total harmonic distortion is –87 dB. Figure 19
shows a typical FFT plot of a 100 kHz, 0 V to 5 V input after
being digitized by the AD7891-2 operating at 500 kHz, with the
input connected for 0 V to 5 V operation. The signal-to-(noise +
distortion) ratio is 71.17 dB and the total harmonic distortion
is –82.3 dB. It should be noted that reading from the part
during conversion does have a significant impact on dynamic
performance. Therefore, for sampling applications, it is
recommended not to read during conversion.
